Topshop Unique
In Case You Missed It: Yesterday’s episode of Oprah featured J.Crew’s Creative Director, Jenna Lyons. The media queen not only went inside the J.Crew offices, but she also went inside Jenna’s closet! It’s like a dream—huge and colored-coded. Click to watch the clip! {HuffPo} Happy Belated Birthday: To Tavi! The bite-sized blogger turned 14 yesterday. [...]

We noticed leather harnesses pop up on a couple of New York Fashion Week runways, a trend that continued onto London’s catwalks. Reed Krakoff’s version came with fur on the bottom, while Sass & Bide simply belted their intricate white harness over an evening gown.

Fall 2010 London
London’s Top Five, So Far
1. Aquascutum‘s camel coats. Freja wore a short, empire waisted jacket with long slim sleeves. Its broad collar poured over her shoulders and it was nipped in with a chocolate brown leather belt.

Even Alexander Wang, god to the too-cool for school crowd, embraced the iconic American jock in his all-American SS10 collection.

Trendspotting: The Balmain-tidote
Last season, one couldn’t squeeze into a show without being knocked around by a pair of expensive shoulders. Though the Balmain or Margiela or any shoulder interpretation of the two have stuck around here and there, SS10′s featured a healthy crop of anti-shoulders so far. Designers ranging from Richard Nicoll to the team at Topshop, [...]

Fashion Week
Week of the Dolls
Oh no. When designers and their commercially successful brands started heading back to London Fashion Week in honor of the British Fashion Council’s 25th Anniversary, our first concern was the probable influx of international editors — the stuffy kind who usually skip London because it’s way too fun and way too crazy.
